Presentation of FY13 Strategic Budget UpdateMr. Hendrickson began the update by informing the committee that last month’s figure of a $19M shortfall is now closer to $10M. Mr. Hendrickson reviewed the LFC reconciliation proposal relative to the initial PED proposal. These numbers will be changing during the Legislative Session. The LFC side shows a growth of $49M over the prior year. The major change between the LFC and the PED was $25M ERB replacement. The State will pick up the tab and the district will pick up the 1.75% swap—employees will no longer have to pick that up. Another material difference is the $2.5M in fixed cost, which the LFC is including and also an $11.5M amount for enrollment growth.
